I tried it with the argument. But it doesn´t work for me. This is how i tried it:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe" --disable-usb-keyboard-detect

Could it be that it only works with opera 32 bit?

I have tried opera 38, 39.0.2256.48 and the newest beta-version. But it doesn´t work.

Have anyone an idea?

Thank you very much

I think i have the reason for the problem:

I open opera with the option:

--user-data-dir=D:\Opera_settings

And when i click on a link in an e-mail-program the "standard" folder for settings is opened.

So for opera this is a new instance.

Is there another option in opera changing the user-dir? I find nothing in the windows settings for standard-apps or in Thunderbird to change this?

Any idea?

No - i believe this has nothing to do with Thunderbird. I work under Windows 10.

I tried several things:

1. i switched in Windows 10 the standard app options to Firefox or Edge and everything work normal. Everytime i click on a link in an email-programm only one instance will be opened - if one instance of firefox or edge is acuall open then the link will be opened in the open instance in another tab --> everything works correct.

2. Now i switch back on the standard app options in Windows to opera - i have the problem: one instance of opera is open and i click a link in Thunderbird, Outlook 2016 or Windows Mail - everytime, it doesn´t matter which e-mail-programm, a new instance of opera will be opened. When i click now on another link in any e-mail programm then the link will be opened in the just opened instance in another tab. When i click on more links in any e-mail programm then the links are opened in another tab in the same instance of opera.

3. There is no instance of Opera open. When i click on a link in any e-mail-programm, then a new instance of opera will be opened and the link is opened in a tab --> everythin correct. Nowi click on another link in any e-mail-programm the link will be opened in the same instance of opera in another tab --> everythin works correct.

4. I tried this on another computer. Here everythin works correct. No problem with opera.

I have only the problem, that when opera is aöready open - a new link will be opened.

I believe that has nothing to do with any e-mail-program. An option in Windows? Or Opera? But what option?

Have someone any idea? What option could this be?

Hello,

i surf with opera and as e-mail-client thunderbird.

I have one instance of opera open and are surfing in the internet. Now i click on a link in thunderbird and a new instance of opera is opened. The link isn´t opened in the actual open instance of opera.

When i switch back to firefox or edge as standard-browser and i click on a link in thunderbird the link is opend in the actual open instance of firefox or edge.

Someone an idea, why clicking on a link in thunderbird a new instance is of opera will be opened?

Thank you very much

Hi,

i enabled "Touch events" and "Touch adjustment" - but the scroll bar and also the X to close the tabs wouldn´t be bigger or wider. The "menu" with back/forward icon is getting bigger - so i think i am in "tablet" mode with opera.

How i said - opera is for me the best browser for Win 10 and touch-mode with fingers - but these two improvements would be very great - perhabs in a future release. Perhabs you could make it that everyone could configure the size of the UI in options? I know, this is not easy to implement - perhabs "experimantal" in "opera://flags"?

Thank you very much

Hi,

i have a Win 10 Tablet (Surface) and tried all browsers - for me Opera is the best browser when i´m in touch-mode (no mouse or keyboard).

But these two improvements would make Opera perfect:

• It´s hard for me to close tabs with the finger, because the X is to small - make it a little bit bigger - or is there a finger gesture to close a tab?

• The scrollable bar on the right side is to small - also make it a little bit wider - not much - just a little bit. In Firefox there´s possible to change the UI with a ini-file - so i could adjust the UI - is this perhabs also possible in Opera?

Otherwise - great job - a fantastic browser.

Please make Opera perfect für Win-Tablets - Microsoft with Edge will never get it:)
Thank you very much
